I'm so slow in getting everything done this year. We are getting new windows - living room, dining room, and sun room, the 4 windows that I decorate trees in front of every year. BUT I didn't know when they were coming to install - so I've been patiently (really, I have!) waiting for them to come. Last week, I called them, and they said they were planning to come on December 22. Seriously? The 22nd? I asked very nicely if they could wait til January, and they were happy to do so. I went shopping and found these adorable little pears -CLEARANCE. Kinda got me in the mood.

Last year, one of the bloggers I follow (sorry, I forgot who- but if it was YOU - Thanks!) that showed how they display their Christmas cards. I thought, hmm... I have one of those, got it out and waaalaaa, love it.

Friends from California sent us a wreath, live, smells awesome! My DD#1, had the arrangement for working 5 years at her job, she brought it to share the weekend after my birthday, and kinda "forgot" to take it home. It sure takes a lot of water!

We have had snow a couple of times, but this weekend, the weather is in the upper 40's, so we were able to get the decorations outside done. I'm into wreaths this year (apparently).

Last, but never least, is decorating of the bridge. Icicle lights, greenery and a huge wreath, accent the 60' bridge quite well. It's especially pretty at night. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful Christmas, and blessed new year. Sandi

About Me

I'm a small town girl, who grew to be a small town woman, and now is a small town "Meme" joined with my small town "Papa". We pretty much live our lives around our kids and grandkids, even though they live 6 hours away. We are in touch with them daily through the computer and would give everything in the world to be able to spend more time with them.

More About Me

I have collected milk glass in all forms, shapes and sizes since I was 12 years old when I got my first set of bedside lamps from Stanhome Products. I had to sell a case of "Degreaser" in order to earn them, and I wanted them SO BAD. I have had people make fun of me for years! I have over 100 pieces and use them every chance I get to decorate, serve, or just look at. Until I came upon Susan's blog at http://betweennapsontheporch.com/ I had never found anyone else who had the same connection with beautiful dishes or anything even close to my interests. I'm no longer the odd ball, I have found people I can relate to and am enjoying the blog world immensely! Thanks so much to all who might be out there who have inspired me to come out of the "closet"! Ha! Sandi
